'Meet the Beetles' at the National Arts Festival


Visitors to the National Arts Festival can take a trip down memory lane at the VW Pavillion nestled on the lawns near the Albany Museum.

Six carefully selected VW Beetles are on display for the duration of the National Arts Festival in Makhanda, formerly Grahamstown.

VWSA Group General Manager for Communications, Matt Genrich, said that "the purpose of the installation is to provide festival goers with a taste of the treasures of Volkswagen's museum, the AutoPavilion in Uitenhage."

Meet the Beetles' showcases Jan, the oldest Beetle in South Africa, film star Herbie, Delilah with her super low mileage, Jeroen the Mexican-built, Trans-Saharan Traveller from Amsterdam, Matti - the last Uitenhage-built Beetle and Nomhle the most beautiful Beetle with her bling!

The Beetles each have a story which appeals to fans of the iconic "love bug" also crowned the "Car of the 20th Century," said Gennrich.
